Abstract The prevention of bacteria colonization by immobilizing proteins with antimicrobial activity onto cotton fabrics was investigated. Such coatings have potential applications in medical dressing materials used wound care and healing. Two lysozyme hydramacin-1 (HM-1) were surface immobilized through two linkers (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) citric acid the presence water soluble...

Copper films were grown on (3-Mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTMS), (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and 6-(3-(triethoxysilyl)propylamino)-1,3,5- triazine-2,4-dithiol monosodium (TES) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) modified acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) substrate via electroless copper plating. The copper films were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray ...

A simple microfluidic-based technique to quantitate the binding affinity between the glycopeptide antibiotics teicoplanin from Actinoplanes teicomyceticus and vancomycin from Streptomyces orientalis and 5-carboxyfluorescein-D-Ala-D-Ala-D-Ala (5-FAM-(DA)(3)) is described. In this work, (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane is used to modify the surfaces of a series of microchannels, and each channel is...

Following a waste-to-wealth approach, humic acid (HA) was exploited as flame retardant additive. The effect of its addition alone and in combination with urea (UR) ammonium polyphosphate (APP) on the thermal, fire, mechanical performances bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (DGEBA)-based epoxy resin modified (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (AP) cured aliphatic isophoronediamine (IDA) has been investig...

Objective: Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) nanofillers were added to denture liners improve their physical properties. The main goal of this research was evaluate the impact adding nano zirconium oxide fillers on color change, water sorption and solubility silicone acrylic liners. Materials Method: surface ZrO2 nanoparticles modified via treatment with silane coupling agent (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysi...

Chemical surface modification methods were investigated to activate surface of poly-(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) for probe immobilization in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The investigations started from dramatization of PDMS surface with (3-aminopropyl)-triethoxysilane (APTES). Amino groups generated by APTES were either derived into carboxyl group by Succinic acid anhydride (SAA), th...

A novel amperometric biosensor for hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) was developed by entrapping horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in a new ormosil composite doped with ferrocene monocarboxylic acid-bovine serum albumin conjugate and multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). The ormosil was prepared using 3-(aminopropyl)triethoxysilane and 2-(3,4 epoxycyclohexyl)-ethyltrimethoxy silane as monomers. The encapsu...

The immobilization of antibodies on various surfaces has been the subject of advanced research in various immunoassay-based diagnostic devices. The physical and chemical stabilities of the immobilized antibodies on a solid surface still cause many problems because upon immobilizing antibody molecules, the antigen-binding ability usually decreases. The silanization of surfaces with organosilanes...

Recombinant Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chlorophyllase 1 (CrCLH1) that could catalyze chlorophyll hydrolysis to chlorophyllide and phytol in vitro was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant CrCLH1 was immobilized through covalent binding with a cubic (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES) coating on magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONPs), which led to markedly improved e...
